I happen to have an artist for a BFF/MOH, so I was thinking about asking her to do a portrait of me as a 50s style pin-up girl to give to him as a wedding gift. I guess I'm just looking to surprise him! Do you think this would have the same effect as a boudoir photo shoot?? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Happy New Year everyone!

I love love love this idea!!! That would be hella hot! Plus, you could wear something real sexy but that makes you feel confident. My friend did her engagement pics with a 50s pin up theme and they turned out really awesome. The theme is hot!

I think it's a great idea too! You could even make like a Vargas girl-type calendar for him.

This site has some fun pin-up poses

I likey! If this is what your FI is into, then go for it!

 

Oh, and I like the calendar idea too. I know u are not comfy in lingerie, but photos as a pinup would be awesome. If u do go with some photo idea, i heard those photographers usually do a great job of making u comfy and taking shots of you so that you look great. Let us know what u decide to do!! Love the pinup tattoo idea!

Pinup photos = AMAZING IDEA!!!

 

I love the whole look of the pinup era....so sexy and bold, yet classy, but all the while still FULL DIVA! I'm sure you will look INCREDIBLE, and your FI will be drooling when he sees his bride soooo super glam! To me, the ladies of pinup captured what it is to be a strong, crazy-beautiful woman, and I'm sure that will come across brilliantly in your portraits.

 

Geesh, this is something I wish I would have thought of....as I, too, share your feeling of discomfort at the idea of pics in a little nightie, or less! I mean, I've been working out, but the back of my thighs and bootie will need more than a little airbrushing to NOT look ridiculous!

 

I SAY GO FOR IT, and I can't wait to see the gorgeousness that results!

I think he will love it!

That sounds totally awesome (hello early 90's lingo!), and I bet you just gave plenty of girls another option... if you don't mind them stealing...;-)
